VBMT160402-PS AH8015 – VBMT ISO turning insert, PVD‑coated carbide, 0.2 mm radius (Tungaloy)

The VBMT160402-PS AH8015 is an ISO rhombic turning insert engineered for external and internal turning of heat‑resistant alloys with reliable chip control and consistent edge life.

• ISO rhombic insert, 16 mm size
• PVD‑coated carbide grade AH8015
• 0.2 mm corner radius for versatile finishing
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

High productivity through balanced grade and coating

The VBMT160402‑PS AH8015 combines a PVD‑coated surface with a wear‑resistant carbide substrate to provide a dependable balance between edge stability and abrasion resistance. For the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys, this balance reduces unplanned tool changes and supports longer production runs. The PS chipbreaker is designed to assist with controlled chip formation during both roughing and finishing, which contributes to a steadier process and more predictable cycle times.

Secure mounting and ISO compatibility for simple integration

The insert is supplied in the ISO‑standard VBMT geometry (16 mm) with a 35° approach angle and a 5° clearance angle, making it compatible with most standard turning toolholders when form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness match. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink (40°–60°) ensure secure clamping and repeatable positioning. Compatibility is determined by geometry and tolerance rather than brand alone, so this indexable insert integrates well into established tool systems.

Improved surface finish and process stability with the right geometry

A 0.2 mm corner radius provides a good compromise between robustness and surface quality, enabling fine finishing passes without excessive cutting forces. The PS chipbreaker supports short, segmented chips on many alloyed materials, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving surface integrity. Selecting the appropriate chipbreaker and the AH8015 grade for the material and machining stability is essential to achieve consistent results and minimise scrap rates.

Efficient choice for industry workflows and straightforward selection

As a member of the ISO turning insert family, this item is intended for straightforward, repeatable applications in turning. Its PVD layer improves resistance to high temperatures and built‑up edge formation during interrupted cuts or elevated cutting speeds. When process stability and predictable tool life are priorities, this insert offers an economical route to fewer tool changes and simpler planning. For technical queries or confirmation of suitability for specific alloys and setups, our application specialists can provide tailored advice.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The VBMT160402‑PS AH8015 is specified for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys; the AH8015 grade and PVD coating deliver balanced wear resistance and cutting‑edge stability for these materials.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO VBMT geometry (16 mm) and is compatible with standard turning toolholders when form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness correspond to the holder design.

Which chipbreaker should be selected for finishing passes?
The PS chipbreaker on this insert is suited to achieve controllable chips in finishing operations; matching the chipbreaker and grade to the workpiece and stability of the setup improves surface finish and process reliability.

Does the insert require special clamping or screws?
The insert uses a cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°); secure and repeatable clamping is achieved when the holder and fastening elements match the geometry and tolerance class.

How does the PVD coating affect performance?
The PVD‑coating increases resistance to thermal and adhesive wear, reducing built‑up edge formation and extending usable tool life under higher cutting speeds and temperatures.
